Smart glasses next on Facebook’s list of launches

Facebook has announced that its next product release would be the launch of its first smart glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica’s Ray-Ban brand.

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of the social media company, explained that the frames would have an iconic form factor and would let users do ‘some pretty neat things.’

‘I’m excited to get these into people's hands and to continue to make progress on the journey towards full augmented reality glasses in the future,’ he said.

Facebook stated that virtual and augmented reality devices would be a part of a big development programme at the company.
